Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast

In this (currently a bit sporadic) podcast, Kiyan and Dylan bring their “expertise” in film and television into the world of movie trilogies. Each episode centers around a trilogy that the duo watched in one sitting, and features behind the scenes information, a brief summary of key plot points, and a discussion on how the movies worked as a trilogy.

Triple Play runs interchangeably with Inevitable: A Classic Science Fiction Podcast and when active releases every other Wednesday at 9AM Pacific. Triple Play has covered movie trilogies ranging from the classic (Back to the Future, The Godfather, Star Wars) to the obscure (Fred, Troll). Nothing is off limits as long as it has three movies.

Triple Play

If we could have made this episode a tone poem we would have.

The audio quality in this episode is a little worse than normal because it was recorded quite early in quarantine (nearly a year before release) before we had figured out how to properly record these things via skype. Because of that Kiyan’s audio sounds a bit scratchy. Sorry about that. It’s unfortunate we couldn’t make it a visual poem, since maybe the visuals could distract you from the audio. Alas. What a kind of shit way to end the season of Triple Play. It’s Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi and Naqoyqatsi.
